I love your new band. I would love to see more photos if you have any. It is the perfect width. I have a soft spot for princess channel bands

@vanderaf Thank you! I will definitely post more photos. I’m going to wear it with my emerald cut three stone in my avatar today. I hope it also goes well with that ring..

Usually I don’t like cluster set rings, but emerald and ascher cut stones are exception’s. I really love those in illusion settings! Even if this ring is not an illusion but a common prong, I think it looks beautiful! And if the price is right, why not! Do you plan to wear it as a right hand ring?

Yes, a right hand ring for sure. Possibly middle finger.

I’ve been mulling this over. Too trendy??? I just had my second lobe and and my conch (left ear) and second lobe and helix pierced (right) which for now has tiny cz studs (2-3mm) that I probably won’t be able to change until close to a year when it finally heals , and dangles don’t look good on it. I’m planning to get some huggies for my first lobe and this looks promising. I feel like it still looks elegant and classic while being more fun.


Here’s another contender but I feel like it is too trendy and I would get tired of it after a few months. https://www.etsy.com/listing/924195...m=9be901a2&ref=user_profile&pro=1&frs=1&sts=1

I think they’re beautiful.. I actually was mulling over getting the band. If you decide later you get tired of the earrings..you could always have them made into a band.

Thank you! I didn’t even think about the band idea. Which one do you prefer?

There’s two of them. One is a half band with diamonds on the shank. It was too thin so I didn’t get it. The other one is a full eternity. I would have purchased it but I have two unmentionables that are almost the same so I didn’t get it. I do love it though..It’s on FerkosFineJewelry on Etsy.

I just received my new princess cut channel set 18k white gold band to replace my lost baguette band. I love it! It’s the same width as the baguette band. I feels so much better because it hurt when I lost it. I will wear this new band a lot! It’s beautiful!

I’m replying to my own post..:lol: The diamonds look beige on both Winter and the diamonds on the band. Winter is an F and the band diamonds are f/g. They’re very white..I take crummy photos!

HI:

I would like a pair of yellow diamond stud earrings. Radiant, cushion or ovals. OOPS did I just type that out loud?

cheers--Shaorn

@MamaBee, love your new band, it's beautiful. Looks perfect with Winter, the width is just right and it's a good height too. Great choice!

Thank you @junebug17! I realized I already had an older channel set band with princess diamonds..but it’s higher profile. I need to sell some of my bands..I don’t even know what I have..:roll2:

I've been casually looking for my "one watch to rule them all" and have become smitten with vintage Cartier watches

I found this absolutely incredible white gold Cartier Baignoire from the 1960s, it's outrageously expensive for me, but I've never seen a herringbone strap like that, just had to share and will have to dream on...

I’m so frustrated with myself. I just purchased a beautiful princess 3/4 diamond channel set band to replace my lost baguette band. I was looking at the new band and thinking it looked familiar. I got out my jewelry hoard. Sure enough I have almost the same band. This band is an eternity..much heavier weight even though it is 14k white gold. I remember paying quite a bit for it a long time ago. The diamonds are so pretty. I wouldn’t have purchased the new band if I remembered I had this one. I threw out all the boxes from the new one so I can’t return it. Also..the new one is a lower profile which I need for the two rings I’m going to wear it with. The higher profile is the older one..Ugh..I may sell the older one..I don’t even know what I have anymore.

Which one is the new one - left or right on the last pics?

@Mreader The new one is on the right…It’s lower profile. The older one is a full eternity with a higher profile..It has little holes on the side to let it light..You can see them in the pics.

@MamaBee, fwiw I think the new band works better with your ering. I like the lower profile and it complements Winter well. I do get that it bothers you to have similar rings but otoh there is enough difference between them to make a difference. The older band is really pretty and you could try selling it. Or, I wonder if the company will accept a return without the original boxes. My guess would be no, it's an easy way for them not to have to deal with a return. Worth a try if it's really bothering you.

Thank you @junebug17.. I really love the low profile and width of the new one. It works perfectly with Winter. It doesn’t work so well with Emmy..in my avatar. It’s a little too thick..I do have the same exact band as the new one but in 1.8mm..I wear that one with Emmy a lot..It’s with David getting a little stone replaced. That one works perfectly with Emmy because it’s so thin. I feel a little better because I put the older one on with my five stone asscher band which has a higher profile. They look really nice together. I do need to get rid of some rings though..
I also just bought a sweet little rose gold band from Etsy to wear in between my 18k white gold wedding set. I recently purchased a little .47 emerald cut east west band in rose gold from Dandy. I needed to have another ring in rose gold on the other hand tie it together.
I have been very very bad…I guess losing that baguette band sent me into the rabbit hole buying too much! I’m banning myself for a while. I still qualify for this thread because I have a lot coming...:lol-2:

I just noticed your post. I got 3 new piercings 2 years ago, and had lot of fun getting new earrings. I bought off of Etsy mostly. I have been happiest with Maria Tash because the diamonds sparkle more than anything I got from Etsy. They are my go tos now. RealReal has them.

I've always wondered what the quality of Maria Tash is, because their pieces are quite pricey but they are really cute and fun! Love the idea of RealReal...there is nothing worse than dull or lifeless melee IMO so a little premium is worth it!

Good, glad you're feeling a little better about it! It's good you have a ring that works well with the older band. You have such beautiful jewelry. But wait, have you posted pics of the asscher ring?? I don't remember seeing pics of it!

I’ll take a photo when I get it out again. I just put everything away after mulling over everything for an hour! :lol-2:

Thank you..The weirdest thing is..the diamonds are f/g but they always look gray when I take a photo. They are bright white. I even do that with my f ACA..I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. If you go to Etsy you will see more photos that are way better than mine..

That band turned out very well - love it!!

Thank you @MissGotRocks! I love the diamonds this seller uses..I have the same exact band in 1.8mm that I use as a stacker. That one is a half but this one is a three quarter. I’ll wear the 1.8mm with Emmy.
